All language subtitles for She Led Two Lives (1994) Full Movie Connie Sellecca Perry King Patricia Clarkson

Amen.

Profile.

Name, age, place of birth.

Rebecca Cross, 35.

Any tattoos or gang affiliation?

No. No cigarettes?

Lighters or condoms?

All right, take off the cuffs and put
her in the holding cell.

I

couldn't help

listening.

Whatever got into you to marry two guys?

I mean, I can see a side dish to spice
up the main meal.

But why marry both of them?

That's a very good question.

Oh, Jeffrey.

It's beautiful. Thank you.

Is that pretty?

To Rebecca, I didn't think it was
possible, but I love you more today than

day we were married.

To Jeffrey, in this unpredictable world,
you are my safety net.

I hope Harvey and I are as happy as you
when we've been married seven years. Go.

To Jeffrey, the best partner I ever had.

Practicing medicine with you is almost
as much fun as playing golf on a good

day.

Harvey, you're supposed to tell us
romance and business.

Marriage is a partnership. This is an
anniversary. I made a logical

Desiree. Our marriage is a partnership.

And a friendship.

Dr. Madison here.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Oh, Jeffrey, not tonight, you promised.

I know. I'm sorry I didn't factor in the
Lucas boys' ruptured appendix.

Of course. I love you, Rebecca.

Who?

Happy anniversary, ma 'am.

You're so romantic.

Oh, please, if I pull something like
that on our anniversary, it'd max out my

gold card.

Morning, Rebecca.

Did you have a nice anniversary dinner?

Short and sweet, thanks to Jeffrey's
beeper.

The good news is I wrote up 14B. It's in
your box.

You're amazing.

Johnson asked me to help him bring 14C's
mutation rate within women. But you're

on three research projects already.

I function best under pressure.

If you only want 14C, you're going to
have to write it up, too.

I can handle that.

It's your life. If you want it, it's
yours.

Rebecca Cross.

Auntie! I haven't spoken to you in...
I'll be there as fast as I can.

This is Dr. Jeffrey Madison. Leave your
message at the sound of the beep.

Jeffrey, it's me. Pick up.

Please pick up if you're there. I really
need to talk to you.

Angie called from Lakeview.

My father's taking a turn for the worse.
I'm heading up there now.

Jeffrey, I'm scared.

Becky,

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm losing. It's not so good. Dr. Martz
can't convince him to go to the

hospital. Thanks for coming over, Angie.
Sure.

Daddy, you have to listen to Dr. Martin.

You have to go to the hospital.

Honey, honey, honey, I let him take your
mom and hook her up to those machines.

It didn't make any difference.

I ought to have brought her home like
she wanted.

Things are different now, Daddy.

Oh, I wish I'd spent more time with you
both.

The people that you love should come
first.

Not your work, not your hobby.

Your work, what's important, too.

It'll last forever.

You see, I always thought we'd spend
time together later.

We spent lots of time together.

Daddy, stop it.

You're going to be all right.

You're going to the hospital.

Don't you wait for Leia.

Come on, Becky.

Gary will drive us to the cemetery.

I can't believe he's gone.

At least you got to say goodbye.

I should have come sooner.

But I think Dad's dead.

Don't wait till later.

Dad was working on these files at home.

It looks like new research.

Thank you, Rebecca.

You have no idea how much your father
meant to this university.

His work in this greenhouse has been
such an inspiration.

Daddy loved this place.

I spent half my childhood out here with
him.

You must know every plant and cutting by
name.

You're practically my best friend.

That's what I was hoping you'd say.

You know his work better than anyone.
You have a master's.

We need someone to catalog his work,
particularly the orchids, and finish

teaching the semester.

Oh, but I've never taught college. It's
only three hours a week.

That and reviewing thesis proposals.

I don't know if you plan to sell the
house, but this could give you the

to sort through his things and finish
his work.

Wow.

Thank you, Professor Gray.

I'll think about it.

So, how many days a week are we talking
about here?

Three or four.

I spend weekends with you in the city.

Rebecca, don't you think that teaching
is a step backwards for you?

It wasn't for my father.

Medicine's not the only profession,
Jeffrey.

I know, Rebecca. I just meant, what
about your research?

Well, as long as I turn my reports in on
time, they don't care where I do the

research. All I need is my laptop and a
library.

With my father's library and the
university, I'll have access to

need. You wouldn't have access to me.

I really want to do this, Jeffrey.

Okay, so do it.

Makes sense.

You know, you love Lakeview. You got to
settle your dad's things anyway.

We don't spend that much time together
during the week anyhow.

Who knows?

Maybe I won't even miss it.

Oh, you think not?

Sure. It's not going to be forever.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm Rebecca Cross. I'll be
teaching.

Hi,

I'm Harrison Cross' daughter.

I'm Miss Cross.

Hello.

Becky?

Mike.

What are you doing here?

I'm finishing up the semester for my
father.

He passed away.

I'm sorry to hear that. I just moved
back to town last month. Nobody told me.

would have come to the funeral. Okay,
thanks.

I thought you were living in the city.

I'm commuting. I go back on weekends.

I thought you were living in Wyoming
with your wife and kids.

They're in Wisconsin.

We got a divorce. I'm coaching
basketball here now. We're six and four.

Your kids?

No, the team. My boys are 10 and 12.

You look sensational.

You look the same.

The lecture's starting.

Today's my first day.

Oh, good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine.

You want to have dinner tonight?

I'm done with practice at eight.

Stay at my dad's.

Great. I'll see you then.

Hello?

Hi.

It's Desiree.

If Harvey calls...

Looking for me, would you tell him I'm
with you, helping sort your father's

things?

Desiree, what are you doing?

It's not a big thing, Rebecca. It's just
I haven't had any time for me. You

know, with the fundraiser deadline and
Harvey driving me crazy.

And I'm supposed to lie to Harvey?

Oh, of course not. Just fudge a little.

Say, Desiree, step into the shower.
She'll call you later.

And where would I reach you?

Ask. for Mrs. Smith in the same game.

Hotel.

Please, Rebecca.

Please.

I'll stall, but I won't lie.

You be careful, Desiree.

Too short?

Well, what I'm thinking is, why should
it matter what you look like?

You get dressed up for church, don't
you?

Same thing.

Yeah, right.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to
look your best.

What's the matter? Does your wedding
ring clash with the ensemble?

Or didn't you mention your marriage?

We can get to that.

It didn't come up.

I bet they forgot.

That's the kind of detail that shouldn't
be slipping your mind, darling. Oh,

Mike might have felt awkward asking a
married woman to dinner.

Although there is nothing wrong with two
adults enjoying dinner.

And that's all it is, Angela.

Dinner. But you are going to tell him,
right?

Yes. Eventually.

Oh, Angie.

I just want to talk to Mike the way we
used to talk.

Without all the baggage.

Just for tonight, I want to feel like
I'm 17 again with my whole life in front

of me.

That's so terrible.

I thought you got over him a long time
ago.

Yeah, so did I.

What amazes me is how everything looks
and feels exactly the same.

Do you remember the night we walked down
the mountain?

Our junior prom? Yeah.

Your car broke down.

I was wearing heels from hell. And I
carried you for miles.

And then you gave me your shoes.

Your size 12, brand new, formal shoes.

And you walk there every day, ma 'am.

Seems like last week.

Thanks.

You know, you haven't changed a bit.

Yes, sir.

Tell me about your life.

You, uh, must have been married at least
once.

Any kids?

No.

Still want it all?

A career and a husband and a house full
of babies?

You still want to play for the Celtics?

It could have happened, too. I've been
ten inches taller and a step quicker.

You still read sci -fi?

You remember what I used to read?

Oh, yeah, among other things.

You're the most memorable person I ever
met.

Any men in your life?

I would love to finish this interview,
Mr. Donoghue, but it's getting late. I

should get back to work.

I've got an early morning.

So why did we break up, anyway?

It would have been crazy to settle down.

I wanted to go to college, have a
different life.

Yeah, you had big dreams, and I didn't
want to hold you back.

You're so incredible.

beautiful, Becky.

It's getting late.

I can still picture you digging out here
in the garden on hot summer days.

Yeah, Daddy was so impressed with how
eager you were to help.

It was those short shorts you used to
wear.

Ah, so you really weren't who I thought
you were. Actually, I was.

I was exactly who you thought I was. You
knew me better than anyone.

I didn't have any defenses around you.

I know what you mean.

I don't want to end.

This is still my favorite fireplace of
all time.

Where are you living now?

I'm living in a dive. I'm alimony poor.

Was it hard for you here before?

Yeah.

I miss living with my kids.

But our marriage died a long time ago.

How about yours?

Excuse me. Sure.

Hello. Where have you been? It's after
midnight.

I had dinner with an old friend.

I had so much fun talking over old
times.

I thought we were going to talk about
tin.

I've been calling you every 15 minutes.

I lost track of time. I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to keep you awake.

When are you going to get home tomorrow?

As soon as I can.

Could you be a little more specific,
please? Harvey and Desiree asked us to

dinner. The Ivy at 7 .30.

Couldn't we go someplace ourselves?

Someplace different?

Why? I thought you liked Desiree.

Anyway, Harvey...

talk when you get home, okay? Don't be
late, all right? Bye.

Bye.

Who was that?

Someone in the city.

Listen, I, uh... Libby, you'd better go.

and I get a goodnight kiss.

You should go. Should I?

Oh,

my God.

Hasn't it hit you yet?

The time has stopped.

I thought I'd never feel like that
again.

Me either.

You want me to go?

When's that time?

We don't have a garbage disposal.

Daddy was at the car park. Don't worry,
I got everything under control.

You're wearing my robe.

Oh, we can fix that.

No, no, that's all right. Leave it on.

No, it was just that last night.

My plan was breakfast in bed.

What, did you get the plunger around
here anyway?

I'll call a plumber.

Well, that's okay. I'll take care of it.
I just need to know where things are.

Please, please.

Stop opening everything.

It appears you're not a morning person.

Yes.

No.

Why don't we just get breakfast?

As a matter of fact, you should get
going. I've got a lot to do today.

not the only one. We play the division
champs tomorrow. I was hoping you might

come and cheer us on. I've got work in
the city.

What exactly do you do in the city?

My degree is in biochemistry. Now I do
research.

I've identified over ten potential
enzymes and proteins that consistently

destroy cancerous cells.

Wow. Sometimes you'll have to explain
that to me in one -syllable words.

I'll get it.

Hello?

She's right here.

It's Angie.

Hello? Hey, it's me.

Did Mike just pick up the phone? What's
he doing there so early?

Becky, tell me he didn't spend the
night.

Angie, I can't really talk right now.

Oh, my God. What about Jeffrey?

I'll call you later.

Please don't answer my phone again.

It could have been anyone.

It's all right. I was just trying to
help.

Here. Thank you.

But can we take things a little slower?

Sure.

That's the way you want it.

Good job, Miss Rebecca.

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, I'm good to see you.

It's only been a few days, Rebecca.

Well, I felt very far away from you.

I brought you flowers from Dad's garden.

Oh, thanks. They're beautiful.

The good news is I've been able to get a
lot of work done without you

distracting me. I've almost finished my
article on dermoid cysts. You want to

read it?

Maybe later.

Well, we've got about a half an hour
before our dinner reservation. Do you

if I proof it?

No, not at all.

I want you to do what makes you happy.

You're the greatest, Rebecca.

Play 20 questions.

Me first.

Go.

Tell me about your school.

They're terrific.

Josh has a great passion in soccer. He's
a guard.

Boy can run all day.

Marcus, Mr.

Video King.

And my ex, Chris is her name. She's a
real good mom.

I know they're all right, but I miss
doing the little everyday things, you

helping with their homework.

taking bike rides after supper, that
kind of thing.

We talk every other day, at least, and I
came on the weekends, but not enough.

Summers are great, though.

If only you'd stay with me in the
summer.

I know you'd be a great man.

I haven't spread you and your mom yet.

How long ago did you get divorced?

Seems like just this morning.

What did he do?

I'll go to surgery.

I'm in. Why'd you leave him?

Gretchen, we're going to have to open
door number one today.

No, Michael.

You ought to know. No, it's okay.

It's your turn anyway.

Ask me something else.

Anything except the secret ingredient in
my spaghetti sauce. If you remember how

much you loved it, that I will take to
my grave.

Hide together.

Well, the lawyer said irreconcilable
differences. The marriage counselor said

communications breakdowns. But the
bottom line was we refinanced.

And Chris fell for our mortgage broker.

She had an affair?

Yeah, that too.

I was too busy doing whatever I was
doing to give her what she needed.

I figured we'd both let the other one
down.

What about you?

Did you ever have an affair or anything?

I could never do something like that.
Once I was married, that was it.

Were you ever tempted?

Yeah, but the point of getting married
is just to say no, right?

Who needs you like this?

This is so beautiful.

I wish we could stay here like this
forever.

Me too.

I've got to meet the guys at the
basketball court.

I've got to get back to my office in the
city.

Right on time. We'll make cocktails.

Pop the trunk, please.

Thank you.

What's this?

My father's jacket.

Your dad? I can't picture your dad in
something like this.

He didn't show that side to many people.

Did you bring it for me?

Like it?

Yeah.

I brought it for you.

Thanks.

Absolutely. Rebecca, you look fantastic.

Are you really teaching or did you sneak
out of town and get a facelift?

Oh, now, Desiree, I would never do a
thing like that without asking you for a

recommendation first.

There must be those college boys you can
practically smell the hormones on the

rampage.

Catch a name for perfume.

Hormones by Desiree Parnell. I can see
the ad campaign now.

Anne, what are you two lovelies
discussing?

You, sweetie.

I was just telling her about your golf
game.

Is that so?

Mm -hmm. How did I do today?

Mm -hmm.

Rebecca?

I want to talk.

About what?

Anything.

Everything.

I haven't seen you for a week.

Harvey said there's a good chance they
may ask you to be keynote speaker at the

convention. You smell so good.

I thought you wanted to talk.

I do.

Let's talk about Lakeview.

You think Lakeview's boring.

I don't.

Not if you're there.

I'll bet you're the hottest thing that
ever hit that town.

That's supposed to be a compliment?

Yeah.

Harvey says Desiree loves it when he
tells her how hot she is.

You're taking cues from Harvey?

He's been married four times.

What is the matter with you? I talked
Harvey into taking my calls. I'm trying

communicate. I'm willing to risk real
intimacy.

I appreciate that.

But it's almost midnight.

If we don't go to sleep right now...

You won't get five hours.

Okay.

Hi, Mike. Hey, Angie. She's not home.
But she's on her way. How you doing?

Good.

So, I guess you two have been seeing a
lot of each other. As much as we can,

yeah.

Um, has she told you about her marriage?

Not much. Seems to be a painful subject.

Uh -huh.

In what way?

Well, a divorce.

Always a bitch, I guess. You and Gary
are two of the lucky ones.

What was her ex like, anyway?

Um...

I didn't know him that well.

So, uh, would you please ask her to call
me?

Yeah.

Good to see you.

Yeah.

I love Mike differently than I love
Jeffrey.

Thank you. It's easy to love somebody
passionately for a month.

It's not just passion.

It's all these emotions I never knew I
had.

Mike makes me feel alive.

He knows me.

What about Jeffrey?

After seven years, he's got to know a
little something about you, too. He

He's been my best friend.

Jeffrey exposed me to a world I wouldn't
otherwise be on my own.

He loves me, but it's that quiet kind of
love. I know where I stand with

Jeffrey. You can count on him. If it was
meant to be Mike, it would have worked

out with him the first time.

You really think so?

How the hell should I know?

I just want you to be happy.

I don't think I can be without Mike.

You got over Mike before, you can do it
again.

I don't know if things can be the way
they used to be.

Betty, try.

Don't you owe Jeffrey that much.

I did tell you, Rebecca, you simply
forgot.

Can't we cancel?

No, we can't cancel. It's for the
pediatric wing.

Good orchestra seats. I don't want to
walk in there late.

All right, Jeffrey. All right, I'll try
to be there by 8 o 'clock.

No, don't try. Be there.

I'll try.

Wear your blue dress.

Frank, wait a minute. I want to talk to
you.

The biggest game of the season. I kind
of expected you'd be there. Well, I

have been there if I wasn't so far
behind on this 14C project.

There's always something, isn't there?
Something more important than you and

Why is that?

That's the way life is.

Yeah? Can we talk about it?

We'll talk when I get back.

I need to know you're taking this
relationship seriously, Becky.

Mike, we've only been back together for
one month.

You're expecting too much too fast. But
we've known each other for over 20

years. What is so fast? I can't just
drop everything.

My life is very complicated. I don't
want you to drop anything. I like that

have different lives and jobs and kids
and basketball games and whatever. We

need to take another step.

You want to move in?

It's more than that.

I feel like I'm supposed to kind of love
you sometimes or something.

It's making me crazy.

We don't have a lot of time with each
other. When we are together, I want to

know that you're committed to me.

I can't talk about this now.

You should talk about it now. Why?

Is it love worth waiting for? Why wait?

Maybe you're scared your ex -husband did
something to you. I'm not him.

Becky.

We lost each other 18 years ago.

I think it's a mistake.

Let's not do it again.

I can't make it to Memphis.

Not now.

Grab carefully.

This isn't a goodbye, is it?

That's up to you I told you what I need

bothering you well it always bothers me
when you're late it's so massive

aggressive you're right

something is bothering me you feel it
too don't you something's

missing we're stuck on cruise control no
highs no lows no passion

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be condescending.

Come here.

I think that you are confusing passion
with stress.

You know, I get my highs and lows at the
hospital. When I'm with you, I just

want peace and comfort. So let's not
create problems where there aren't any.

there are.

Rebecca, the only problem is I think
you're working too hard. And I

I've been there myself.

I mean, everybody thinks that they're
your only patient. They want more from

than any human could possibly give.

Something like that, yes.

But Jeffrey, Jeffrey, I need to get away
for a while and sort things out.

Right now?

Right in the middle of the first act?

My bags are still in the trunk.

Becca, where is this coming from? I need
to think.

What about my needs? I need you to be
the way you were. I need to see the rest

of the ballet.

I have to go.

Fine, be a manager man.

Have a small time on your little
vacation.

I dare you to make one from there.

Wow.

I'm up to die and gone to heaven.

Is that your lab coat?

I went to the ballet after work.

So what do you say?

Gonna take my dare?

If I make it, will you stick around?

For how long?

Forever seems fair.

It's a pretty long shot.

If you think too long, you're missed.

Just do it.

I don't think I can live without you in
my life again.

Vicki, you don't have to.

Let's go.

Where? Trip, give me the best surprise
of your life.

The wedding boat?

I get seasick. No problem. It's a
riverboat. And it's high time you made

honest man, Adam.

Why do we have to get married?

We haven't done well by marriage so far.

Why don't we just live together?

My parents are dead. They won't give us
any grief.

We could always get married sometime
later. Becky, our whole lives, we've

coming to this night.

Let's not wait for later.

I now pronounce you man and wife. You
may kiss the bride.

Just put it down by the mattress, guys.

I'm late for practice, but I'll put it
together as soon as I get home.

Why didn't you tell me you brought us a
new bed? Well, it was supposed to be a

surprise. Think of it as a wedding
present.

But I didn't get anything for you.

Oh, that's cool.

But if you don't go to the city this
weekend, we can take a honeymoon. We can

have a really great time.

Is the bedroom on the right, guys?

We'll hop the train for Atlantic City,
spend the weekend indulging the

of the flesh, and I'll scout a high
school forward. It'll be a blast.

Think about it.

Bye.

I love you, Becky Lewis.

Hi, Mike. Hi, Angie.

Hi, Becky.

I saw the moving van. Congratulate me,
Angie. I'm a married man.

You're what? Why so shocked? I thought
you and Gary believed in matrimony. I

told Angie she could be my maid of
honor. She's a little disappointed,

all. Oh, well, maybe we can have another
ceremony on our first anniversary.

It can work, can't she?

Men have been doing it for centuries.
Two wives, two families. Why can't I?

What about children?

Well, Mike already has two, and Jeffrey
doesn't want any.

Well, you want them, don't you?

And what about when you're 60 years old?
Who are you going to grow old with?

Oh, I'll cross that bridge when I come
to it.

I tried to talk Mike into living
together, but you know how he is. All or

nothing. Oh, so you let Mike talk you
into being a bigamist.

He thinks I'm divorced.

Do you really believe you're going to
get away with this?

Maybe.

Neither one of them really wants me full
time.

When Mike goes north to see his kids,
I'll go south to see Jeffrey. Everybody

gets what they need. No, Becky. Sooner
or later, you have to choose.

Nobody gets everything.

Sweetheart. Oh, I'm glad you're back.

I missed you.

Here.

Are you feeling better?

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, we have to talk.

All right.

They asked me to meet next semester
again.

I said yes.

Without talking to me?

Oh, Rebecca, we hardly ever see each
other anymore.

Yeah, well, when we do get together on
weekends, it'll make it that much more

special.

Rebecca, married people live together.
Single people see each other on

But we've been making it work on
weekends so far. Why are you objecting

now? Because I thought the arrangement
was temporary.

But it's working so well.

Jeffrey, you're married to your work
first.

I'm not jealous.

I plan around your schedule without
complaining.

All I'm asking for in return is your
support and your patience.

While I try a career that means
something to me.

Teaching.

How can I argue with that?

I think it's terrific you're mature
enough to encourage Rebecca to have a

totally separate from yours.

Not totally separate.

I mean, most men would be jealous and
possessive.

Rebecca's so beautiful.

And all those...

young, handsome college boy.

Well, that's one thing I don't have to
worry about.

It must be great to be together so long
that you know absolutely everything

about each other.

I learn something new from Desiree every
day.

Well, it's not that Rebecca doesn't ever
surprise me, but I just think that

underneath all the highs and lows, the
ups and downs, you know, that there's a

core of trust.

That's what marriage is.

We belong to each other.

Who is he?

I know, Rebecca, I can tell.

Someone I loved a long time ago.

So, in theory, yeah.

leave Jeffrey?

No.

Not if I can help it.

I love them both.

So you're gonna get your heart broken
twice?

Why? How do you know that?

Passion clouds your judgment.

When you fall in love, you lose.

I actually have an idea.

Why don't I go to the city with you this
weekend and we can move down one of

your bureaus?

No. No, it wouldn't look right. I think
we should start fresh with all new

furniture. You think? Yeah.

Well, I could still go with you this
weekend because Chris has plans for the

boys and there's no game, so maybe you
should show me your apartment and we can

break it in.

Yeah.

Yeah, but the truth is I'm only stopping
by for a minute because my place is on

the market. I'm staying with my friend
Desiree and I don't think the two of us

can fit on her couch.

Oh.

Well, I guess I could ask Chris to trade
for another weekend.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Is my jacket still in your car?

I don't know.

Who's that French fry rapper from the
Middle Ages?

What are you doing with a prescription
pack?

I worked for a pharmaceutical company,
remember?

I'm sure your jacket will turn up
somewhere.

Be careful.

I will.

She'll never get through the weekend
without this.

Mike. Mike, what are you doing here?

Hi. Hi. I knew you would need this. You
left it behind.

Becky, this is amazing. This is
beautiful.

Thanks.

But, you know, I have an open house here
in just a few minutes, and I've really

got to get organized.

Can you wait for me someplace, Bill?

Well, how about a cup of coffee first?
I've been on the road for about three

hours.

Rebecca? Where are you going?

Rebecca? Who are you talking to?

Myself. Where are you?

Elm Street. I'll be home in about ten
minutes.

You're on the car phone?

Yeah, what's the matter with you? You
don't sound like yourself.

No, nothing. I just left the shower
running. You know how I hate to waste

Well, hop in. I'll join you when I get
there.

All right. I'll be right there.

Bye.

Be right where? Who's that?

My boss. He needs me at the lab.

The temperature control in the culture
media has malfunctioned. I've got to go.

Sounds serious.

Very serious.

Anything I can do to help? No, no, I...
Yeah.

You want to help? Yeah. You know what
you could do?

Run back to Lakeview and look for my
file folder on 14C.

Now? Now.

Your file folder on 14C.

But I've got to get on the road. I've
got to get dressed.

I love watching you get dressed. No, not
today.

Okay, so your file folder on 14C.

Have any idea where that would be? All
right, all right, all right. You wait

right here. We'll leave together, okay?
Wait right there.

Who's this guy?

That's my husband.

My ex -husband, Jeffrey.

Mike, we really got to go.

Yeah, I'm ready.

There's my jacket.

Oh, yeah.

Why don't you let me take that to the
leather cleaners? I'll bring it back

you.

You know, it's really not dirty.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hello, Rebecca.

Mr. Green?

I haven't been to your room much lately.

Yeah, I've had some business out of
town, Mr. Green.

You go directly to the lady if you look
for those folders on 14th Street.

I will try to train out this man, and
I'll be home as soon as I can.

Where's your ring?

I never wear my ring to the lab. I have
my hands in cultures and everything.

Well, hurry home.

Okay.

Rebecca?

He's gone.

Mr. Green.

I didn't get a chance to introduce you
to my brother now, did I?

Daryl, his name.

Yeah, I, uh... I can see the
resemblance.

People say that all the time.

The hair thing.

Rebecca?

What happened?

I was double parked. They were going to
tow me away.

I thought you were in the shower.

I was waiting for you. I didn't want to
waste water.

Come on.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I picked up the books you wanted at the
library. I was hoping I could pick you

up, too. Oh, thank you. Not for an hour.
I want to finish this row.

Okay. I don't want to make a big deal of
it, but we need to book our honeymoon.

Mike, I don't know if I can take time
off.

Ah, you've got to take time off to go on
your honeymoon.

You've got to.

I'm going to go home and make dinner.

You show up hungry.

I'll be in touch with you. Thank you.

Do you believe it? They officially asked
me to do the keynote speech.

I knew they would.

Isn't that great?

You'll do a terrific job. Thank you.

Does that mean you'll be in Miami next
weekend?

Do you want to go with me?

We can stay through the following week.
I'll clear my calendar.

I'd love to, Jeffrey, but I have
midterms next week.

The last train leaves from the city at 5
will pick you up at your apartment.

No.

No, why don't we meet at the train
station at 4?

Why leave your car downtown?

Because... Because it'll be more
romantic that way.

Like Casablanca.

But Ilsa said we're cops.

I will not stand you up.

I promise.

You better not. It's our honeymoon.

Yes, I understand. Thank you. Right.

It's the last time I volunteer for
anything.

What happened?

Oh, some Pulitzer winners fly in to give
the keynote speech.

But you're going anyway, right?

No, what's the point? They don't need
me.

That's not true.

You have a lot to contribute.

Oh, Rebecca, I'd much rather spend my
time with you.

This would be perfect.

My calendar's totally clear.

But my job. I've got to be in Lakeview.
I'll go with you.

I'm already packed.

It'll be great.

Let's not go to Lakeview.

What about your job?

Oh, I'd rather stay right here with you.

We never have to leave the apartment.

In fact, I'm going to tell the doorman
not to let anyone up, no matter what

say. I like the sound of that.

Let's take the phone off the hook.

She said you'd do the same for me.

What exactly do you want me to do?

Lure Harvey home so Jeffrey has to
cover. And keep Harvey home with you as

as possible.

Which one are you trying to kill?

Harvey or Jeff?

Desiree, can you do it?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

What?

What are you thinking?

Oh, not too much.

Is that your paper?

Boy, has it been that long since you've
been in the kitchen? No, the microwave.

And this is the toaster, and here's the
blender, and that's... My beeper.

What are you, psychic?

It's Harvey at the hospital. I've got to
go in.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh.

But don't worry about me.

I've got some work to do at the lab.

Yeah? Should I call you there?

No, no, we both concentrate on our work.

I'll see you back home.

Whenever.

Take things to the limit, why don't you?
Are you trying to give me a heart

attack? Where's your luggage? I can't go
this weekend.

What are you talking about? I already
got the tickets. Everything's arranged.

Mike, the lab is in chaos. The lab can
wait.

The lab doesn't own you.

It doesn't love you like your husband.

I can't. You can't. I can't. You can't.
It's 48 hours. You can make it up next

week when the kids are taking midterms.

I don't have any clothes.

Becky, the one thing you don't need on a
honeymoon is clothes.

Sunset special for Atlantic City.

Now departing for track number four.

All aboard.

I have to make a quick call.

Hold the train.

Jeffrey,

it's Becky.

I'm going to go to Lakeview for the
weekend.

I'm going to take the phone off the hook
so I can concentrate, okay?

I got to go.

I'll call you Monday.

I love you, Jeffrey.

Bye.

Jeffrey, it's Becky.

I'm going to go to Lakeview for the
weekend.

Hi. We're the Lewisons, and we have the
Honeymoon Suite book.

Don't we, Mickey? We will.

The honeymoon's sweet.

I'm surprised you don't gamble with the
way you love games. Well, I play.

But only for fun, definitely not for
profit.

I'll take you if you want. Oh, no
thanks.

Last thing I need is a gambling problem.

How was it where you had any problems?

Everybody's got problems.

Things they'd rather not talk about.

Rebecca?

Rebecca?

Gee, it's Jeffrey. Do you know where
Rebecca is?

Um, no.

No, she didn't tell me where she was
going.

Well, there's a note here. It says, see
you after the basketball game.

Love, spelled L -U -V.

Mike. Do you know who Mike is?

Uh, no.

Uh, Mike.

Mike who? There's no last name?

No, there's not.

He calls her Becky.

On the phone, she called herself Becky.

Gee, I really wish I could help you out,
but I think you better ask her.

Thanks.

let me better talk to you. If I were
you, I'd start planning my defense.

Insanity springs to mind.

Oh, my God, Angie. Don't do it. I'll be
right there.

Angie, Gary's having a midlife crisis.
He grabbed the kids and left town. Now

Angie swallowed too many sleeping pills.
I'm afraid she'll finish it off.

That doesn't sound like Angie and Gary.

You never know what goes on behind
bedroom doors.

I think we better go home.

Are you serious?

She's my very best friend. She'd do it
for me.

But I've got to see that basketball
game.

Oh, that's right.

Mike, these have been two of the
happiest days of my life, and they would

completely perfect if I could see that
game with you tomorrow, but I just

wouldn't feel right about it if it was
anybody but Angie. It's her honeymoon,

for God's sake.

I'd never forgive myself if she did
something crazy.

Rebecca? Jeffrey, what are you doing
here?

The question is, where have you been?

I decided I'd get more work done at the
lab.

That's funny. I called you there.

They probably told you I wasn't there.

So they did.

That's because most of the week I'm at
Lakeview.

But this weekend I decided to work at
the lab.

Why aren't you sleeping in the new
Brad's bed?

Because I'd never seen it there before.
It's new.

You talked about wanting to spend some
more time here. I thought the least I

could do was get us a decent bed.

Rebecca, who's Mike?

He's the graduate student in biology.

I've never taught at the college level.
They had to assign me an assistant.

You never mentioned him before.

Because I wanted to impress you.

I wanted you to think I was Superwoman
doing everything by myself.

But I'm not Superwoman.

I'm very, very tired.

Why are you asking me so many questions?

There's a man's clothes in the bedroom.

My father's.

I couldn't throw them away.

This guy Mike left you notes in the
refrigerator.

He's got a little crush on me.

I could have had him re -assigned,
but... He's such a help.

The truth is...

Been kind of flattered with the extra
attention.

You and I stopped leaving each other
notes.

Actually, we never left each other
notes.

I'm sorry, Rebecca.

I'm sorry that I've been grilling you.

I feel like I haven't been there for
you.

And I'm sorry about that, too.

It's all right.

I don't want to lose you, Rebecca.

I don't want to lose you either.

I can't believe he fell for it.

People hear what they want to hear.

They want you to believe me so badly
that he made himself believe me.

And doesn't that make you feel guilty?

Guilty, scared, and totally confused.

Angie, you were right.

Right about everything.

Marrying Mike was unbelievably stupid.

Real love, real marriage is work, not
fun. Me and Gary work at it.

You think I'm having fun?

But, Angie, if you could, wouldn't you
choose to be loved completely? Becky,

can either one of those men love you
when they don't even know who you really

are?

You don't have a clue what real love is.

How can you say that? Because I love you
enough to tell you the truth.

Your kind of love, it's all on the
surface.

Real love is when you're vulnerable.

And you let someone see who you really
are.

And they'll love you anyway.

I think all those lies, they both hate
me.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But, Becky, you have to choose.

You have to choose one of them and give
100%. That's the only way you'll know.

Rebecca, what happened?

You know I can't submit this report.

I'll redo it. No.

I'm afraid you've already taken on too
much.

Is it your father's death? Is that
what's wrong?

Pardon me.

I'm sorry. I never meant to let you
down.

I thought I could handle it. We all need
to reassess sometimes.

Maybe you need some time off.

You could take a leave of absence.

Get some perspective.

That may be bad.

Head of light.

I should have been here sooner.

Even if you were here, we wouldn't talk
about it.

It got mulched and pruned away.

But we never talked about what went on
inside.

Oh, Danny.

How can I make such a mess of things?

You said honor your first commitment,
Becky.

You're looking at our wedding.

I wanted to remember how it was when we
first got together.

Look how at ease I am.

I'm smiling like the Joker.

That Pat Riley do makes me look like a
pinhead.

Isn't it funny?

We only see ourselves in the picture.

Oh, I always see you in the picture.

Always will.

I'm going to ask Mike to move out this
afternoon.

I can't keep deceiving him.

Tell him the truth.

The truth is I love him.

Everything else I've been telling him is
a lie. It's poisoned, whatever we could

have had.

I can't keep lying.

I can't keep hurting him.

I'm going to make it work with Jeffrey.

Why Jeff?

We've been married seven years. It's the
honorable thing to do. Not to mention

he's got the money.

I'm going to forget you ever said that.
Oh, come on.

Don't be so self -righteous. I know it's
politically incorrect to admit a man's

financial status makes any difference.

But I, for one, would never dump Harvey
for some P .E. teacher on a motorcycle.

That is not why I'm choosing Jeffrey.

The worst lies are the ones you tell
yourself.

You'll see.

In a couple of hours, this will all be
over.

I'll have one husband.

Desiree? Hi, it's Jeffrey.

Tell Harvey I can't make golf, will you?

I want to spend some time with my wife.

Okay.

Bye.

Were you lying when you said you loved
me? No.

Were you lying every time we made love?

Then you must be lying now, right? This
is a joke.

Rebecca, pick up, pick up, pick up.

No. It sounds like a joke.

You don't marry somebody and bare your
soul to them and then say, sorry, I got

on the wrong bus. I meant to go in the
other direction.

It's not like that. Then how is it?

Tell me how it is. You owe me a reason,
Becky. All right, all right. You want a

reason? I'll give you a reason.

You and I are like kids playing house.

I can't go on being a kid with you
forever.

back to my life go ahead hate me

hate me if you deserve it easy for all
of

us that way i

could never hate you

and i don't know what the hell this is
about but i know you don't mean what

you're saying

You don't mean it.

You tell me to my face that you don't
love me.

And I'll walk out the door.

I'm not going to lose you again.

You understand?

I'm not going to let it happen.

I can't.

I can't.

I love you, Becky.

I love you.

Excuse me, can I help you?

Help me?

Who the hell is this Rebecca?

Is this Mike, your assistant? The
assistant that has the little crush on

You know this gentleman, Becky?

Oh my God, that's his jacket, isn't it?

This is your jacket. You didn't give
this to me.

This is his.

Take your clothes and get the hell out
of here. Actually, mister, I was about

ask you to do the same thing. I am her
husband. I want you to get the hell out

of this house. I am her husband. This is
my wife. This

is

my husband.

What are you talking about, Rebecca?

We've been married for seven years.

I know.

Then you couldn't be married to him.

I know.

But I am.

I did.

I did it a month ago.

I don't believe you.

I wanted to break it off. That's what
I'm doing here. That's obviously not

you were doing, is it? Look at you.

It doesn't matter anyway. The whole
thing is just a bunch of lies.

Jeffrey.

Well, I may be low, but I get there
eventually.

You never got divorced.

I tried to tell you. You didn't try hard
enough.

You been going home to him on the
weekends?

I didn't mean for that to happen.

Evidently, she actually married him.

I can't believe that you... Look, just
do whatever you have to do to clear this

mess up.

But no publicity.

Rebecca Cross, a bigamist?

You've got your wires crossed, mister.
What newspaper did you say you're with?

Listen, I don't know who you are, but
that's the kind of malicious gossip that

can get you sued.

We'll go to the scene right away.

Ascertain a crime has been committed.

Your girlfriend made bail.

We've worked out a deal with the
district attorney.

You plead guilty to a misdemeanor,
you'll get probation and community

That's fair.

Now, about the divorce.

Jeffrey's willing to go 50 -50.

I don't want anything from Jeffrey.

He insists you take half.

But, and this is extremely important, he
doesn't want to see you again.

He wants you to move out this Friday
while he's at the hospital.

That can be arranged.

Now, you and Mr. Lewis did not have any
community property.

No. He, too, would prefer not to
interface.

He's moved his things out of your
father's house. Any further

should be through his lawyer.

I don't know.

I'll get back to you, Mrs.

Rebecca.

Thank you.

Just don't tell Harvey I referred your
attorney. He'll have a cow if they have

to split the practice. I told you, I
don't want anything from Jeffrey.

Is it okay if I'm here?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, I, um... I've been thinking.

About what?

Well, I just didn't want to leave things
the way they were.

Me either.

I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I ruined
everything.

We don't have to get into that, Becky. I
want to.

I love you, Mike.

I'll always love you.

I'll always love you too, Becky.

I always will.

But... I can't deal with... But the idea
that you cheated on me,

or whatever you'd call it,

like I told you, I take Mirren
seriously.

I know.

I accept that.

And I wish things could be different
between us.

But I... But we...

You are who we are.

Yeah.

So where will you go?

What will you do?

I like teaching.

I just can't do it here.

Not after all the publicity.

I applied for a job in California. I
have a one -year contract.

Okay, well, I just...

Do

you have a forwarding address?

Yes.

You can check with my probation officer.

I'm required.

Stay in touch.

Desiree, your intentions are good, but
I'm not going to let you lock me and

Jeffrey in the pantry.

I'm not making this up, Rebecca. I
swear.

Jeffrey will be at your place at five.
I'd rather you came earlier.

Well, if I get the same message from my
attorney, then maybe I'll believe it.

Thanks for trying, Desiree. This is no
point.

Isn't love worth fighting for?

Go to your place early, Rebecca.

Okay? Thanks for trying, Desiree.

Didn't Desiree tell you to come early?

I thought it was a trick. I'm sorry.

I'll come back later.

No, wait, wait, wait, Rebecca. Please.

Was it something that I did that made
you go to him?

No.

No, it was me.

It must have been something. I should
have paid attention. I don't know. I

should have seen the signs.

I'm not sure it would have made any
difference.

I was stupid. I was so busy working. I
thought that if I was a good doctor, if

was a successful doctor, that you would
love me.

Oh, Jeffrey, you never had to earn my
love.

Then what did I have to do to get it?

Oh, I'm just learning that love doesn't
really have anything to do with how

worthy a person is, but...

Rather, how capable the other person is
of loving.

You mean that I should have loved you
more?

And I was thinking I didn't love you
enough.

I always held back a piece of my heart.
I sat down because I was afraid of

getting hurt.

And then I blamed you for what was
missing. Can you forgive me?

Yes, I can forgive you.

Not now.

I can't go back to the way we were. Half
married, half in love.

I'm not blaming you.

I let love turn into habit, too.

And then I lied about it.

I still love you.

I love you, too.

You're a wonderful man, Jeffrey.

I should have treated you more honestly.

myself but I need to learn who I am

by myself before I can really love
anyone

This is absolutely the last box in the
room.

Yeah, we can squeeze it in here.

A lot of memories in this old place.

Do you miss it?

I'll take it with me.

You.

You, I'm going to miss terribly.

Oh, me too.

Now, you'll call as soon as you get
there, right? I promise. And drive

carefully. You know how those
Californians are.

I guess I'll find out.

You going to be okay?

I'm going to be fine.

Love's not through with you, you know.

If there were the next time.

I'm going to get it right.

You watch me.

I have no doubt, Rebecca Cross.

Bye.
